Mandrake has new printing-related packages available that offer many printing enhancements over those drivers provided with Mandrake Linux 9.0. Some improvements include a new driver for Lexmark Z11, a number of updated ghostscript drivers, a new version of HPIJS, a newer GIMP-Print which provides much better quality for most Epson Stylus printers, and many new printer drivers as well. Note: this advisory has an update out. The previous updates built ghostscript without the "cups" driver. That has been corrected in these new packages.

A new initscripts package is available that fixes problems with certain locales including pl, sq, fi, lv, ru, sk, and Danish translation encoding. This package also corrects some issues with wireless link detection.

A number of bugs present in samba versions prior to 2.2.6 were fixed. 2.2.6 is considered to be the final version of the 2.2.X series. We strongly suggest all users to upgrade to this version.
